Solar Charge Controller

Since you mention that there is a DC battery charge controller in this picture (to control overcharging of the batteries) it might be worth mentioning that there is (or had better be) a similar controller for permanently mounted solar panels too, as they too have the ability to overcharge a battery (assuming the solar panels produce more energy than your load on the battery drains).

Thanks for that - it spurred us to create a charging animation with solar so that image is now replaced.
